A Legendary Event’s creative director Steve Welsh told us he was going for “romantic and comfortable” with his candle-lit woodsy theme complete with trees and real moss that covered the table. We happened to be seated next to Legendary Events floral director Kim Vasil who helped to create the beautiful setting (”We completely washed all the moss used on the table so utensils could be placed on it at dinner,” she whispered to us about the crazy amount of prep work that went into the table).

“We liked the idea of creating a quiet little getaway for our guests this year,” Welsh explained. DIFFA attendees always peruse Welsh’s creation each year as he attempts to top himself after creating a table made out of chocolate a few years ago at the fund-raiser. Joked Welsh: “People still talk about that table. It was a lot of fun but I don’t think I would do it again. The dry cleaning bills were too high!”

When asked what the new “It Flower” was, Kim Vasil, A Legendary Event’s Floral Designer, instantly answered, “The Cymbidium Orchid.” “I think that people are requesting this flower because it is exotic and elegant,” Vasil explained. “Personally, I’m kooky over this orchid—it’s hearty, sleek, and mixes well with more traditional flowers.”. . .In conversations with others, another particular orchid that is named among those gaining popularity is the Vanda Orchid. The Vanda Orchid is a stand-out orchid because it is one of the few botanical orchids with blue flowers—actually a very purplish blue. The magnificent flowers can produce up to 3 or 4 spikes of variably colored petals per branch.
